Acura RLX - photos revealed in NYTimes

Just the link and photo...nuff said.

http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2012...its-berth/?hpw



The result is a claim of 370-plus combined horsepower and 30 mpg in both the city and on the highway.

Front-wheel-drive models get 310 hp from the V-6 alone and make do with a conventional six-speed auto

I think I'm gonna start saving up for this 370hp machine that does 30mpg city or highway...that's good in my book as I'm averaging like 16 in a car rated 19/29.

Pretty decent concept. Usually I don't like it, but decent job Acura. Definitely a lexus feel to the car, but I guess that's better than what Acura is going for currently. Anyways, not too shabby. It would definitely be a dream car if those MPG are accurate in real world environment. Looking forward to it

The big plus I like is the new DI engine. Finally! And from TOV, 7 Speed DCT? Hmmm....

I think Acura really stepped it up this time - even if 60k price tag it still offers many things that no similar car from lux brands offer.

Way to go - I like this!!!

it looks like a 2013 Accord Coupe (cuz of the headlights). not a fan of the tail lights, they look like a chevy cruze eco tail light. and the stock rims look too complicated. side profile is meh

Ok, and what is your point? The Lexus LS460 doesn't have one either and its a 80+k car.

I think it looks good. 370hp with 30mpg is a nice combo. I'll pick up a CPO one in about 5 years....
